Coverage execution, reaction speed, run-stopper…

When the coverage is that solid, another guaranteed element that jumps off the film when the Packers’ defense plays well is Savage’s superb reaction and speed. Rewinding slightly in the game’s timeline, on this big fourth-down stop at the start of the second quarter, the play Savage makes – from where he’s lined up, to his initial fill against the run, to reading pass and sprinting to the flat to make the tackle – is as good as it gets.
